I've met kids that listen to top 40 bands but honestly don't care enough about music to look past that. Which is fine, I myself was not always interested in music and I'm surely not as obsessed with it as some out there. But I also know kids that are into music that listen to great music like Lightning Bolt, Boredoms, Battles and other bands that I am agreeable with.
It's myspace, however, and the commodification of music into pure fashion that I have a problem with. Undoubtedly music has been popularly tied to fashion since early days of rock such as Mods, etc. but I see bands becoming names on an iPod just to match an outfit or namedrops on a profile page. This leads to aesthetic-centric bands like The Medic Droid which have only a handful of songs recorded but a massive myspace following.
